OUR PARIS LETTER.


OUR PARIS LETTER.
This justice is cheap, and expedi-
tious; it is now proposed to extend
its working and benefits, to conf
merce and to all business, not Of
techancal or industrial nature; that
which implies nearly five millions of
both sexes, or about one-seventh of
the population OF the country. Thus,
clerks, shop assistants, &C., would
have o friendly court to investigate
their complaints, composed OF their
peers in equal position to employers.
These commercial courts of concili-
alton, would do more good than all
the wire-pulling of lobbyists to have
windbags in-or out of-power. The
grave objection against the plan, is
its necessity and utility.
With the approaching trial OF
Pranzini, the judges are already oc-
cupied with most delicate ques-
ton raised by two, of his three al
legged victims. The murdered mis-
tress left by her will, all her pro-
perry, 100000 francs, to the little
daughter of her murdered servant.
The mistress was fearfully hacked,
but might have lived few minutes
after her dreadful wounds. As for
the child, its head was severed from
the body by single slash OF the
knife across the throat. Was death
instantaneous in both cases if not,
which of the two succumbed the
first? If the mistress lived the
longer, then her property reverts to
her own family, and who claim it; il
the child out-lived the mistress,
then her grandfather's demand as
residuary legatee holds good. All
the wealth is the wages of sin, its
owner was a prostitute. Six judges
are hearing the case, and will have
TO pronounce on three others, the
consequence of the fire at the Opera
Comique. Generally, the law de-
cides according to equity, and leans
to the evident intentions OF a tes-
tator or testatrix. The murderer
himself, while knowing which of the
victims he struck first, could not
state which was the first to expire.
An assassin on one occasion was
tried for the murder of mother
and two children; one Of the latter,
after extraordinary care, recovered,
and was the convicting witness.
"Ah! Gentlemen" said the accused
to the Jury, "you do not know how
difficult it is to kill a child"
Since Madamoiselle de Campas
opened the ball for theatrical elop'
ments, she has had two iInitators
it would not be surprising, if that
became the fashionable plan of get
ting married. There is ever some
thing new about weddings. Presi'
dent Grevy's nephew has just been
married; the Mayor, who perform
ed the civil part of the ceremony,
complimented the bride on her at
tending in her bridal toilette, and
not putting it on specially for the
religious ceremony, as so many do
to snub the registrars bauns.
A young man, Ahat, aged rs
has been found with his skull bat
tered in, and face scarified, on thu
floor of first class carriage, on ar
irving at the suburban station o
Courcelles, and effected in thu
space of three minutes after quitting
Batignolles, the previous station
The victim still lives; some asser
it is a real murder; others, that hi
put his head out of the train to com
nit suicide, and after having il
smashed, got sorry, and took it il
again. Since then, another gentle
man has been assassinated by {
band of ruffians at the same circular
railway. II am tired of life," sac
a lad, aged IL, in railway carriage
two days ago, to lady and he
daughter, casual travellers; he pu
revolver to his temple, and blew
out his brains.
Visitors to Paris in search o
strong sensations, ought to not
Pezon's Menageire. They may hi
upon an unexpected variety in tn
performances of his lions, they ar
famous for devouring their tanners
Pezon's son-in-law, Salvador, ha
had narrow escape again; he wa
performing before crowded tent
with "a lion in cage-liberty;
both "artistes" became excited b,
the applause of the spectators; th
lion seized Salvatore arm, but afte
decorating it, had to let go, due to
well-administered blow on the muz
zle from a loaded whip; two othe
lions in a rallied off cage, at tn
smell of blood, commenced to throw
themselves frantically at the bar
this excited the lion to claw Saliva
tor on the thighs; again fearful
struggle with the whip; beaten off
Salvador rose, when the lion ono
more sprang and clawed his abdo
men; again terrible blow sent tn
animal yelling into corner. b
this time, division slide was thrus
into the cage; Salvador was extract
ed and handed to the surgeons, VIII
